More than 100 people attended the Hamilton Island Reef Hour on Thursday night to hear guest speakers including finance and energy expert Tim Buckley and former GBRMPA director Dr Adam Smith discuss ongoing threats to the Great Barrier Reef.

Dr Adam Smith, Director of Reef Ecologic and former Director of GBRMPA said: “ There are some good initiatives in the Reef 2050 Plan, but often Government policy is a plan for a plan. We need action if we are to lock in the future health of the Great Barrier Reef.”
